According to the division, Kameng is the combat area of Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division, and has nothing to do with the new 38th Division.

The fierce fighting in the Mara Heights lasted for several days, and the 64th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, but there was nothing to be done about the heights in front of them.

The idea put forward by Sun Liren was judged based on intelligence, and it was the only flaw of the devils on the battlefield of Meng Gong, in the telegram, Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang and Stilwell repeatedly discussed.

And Liao Yaoxiang, who is difficult to move forward head-on, also has similar thoughts. In the telegram, Liao Yaoxiang said to Stilwell: I suggest that while attacking in an all-out way, we should divide our forces to attack Myitkyina, Mong Gong, Indo, and other enemy supplementary bases, cut off the enemy's rear routes, and implement the tactics of closing the door and beating dogs; This tactic allowed us to inflict heavy losses on the enemy in Mengguan, Waruban, Shaduzha and other places, but the Japanese army took advantage of the unobstructed rear passage to continuously obtain a steady stream of replenishment of troops and materials, and reinforcements rushed from all over the country to rescue, so that the 18th Division quickly regained its combat effectiveness and carried out organized resistance; I propose: Dispatch elite troops to attack Xitong, not only to take the supply base of the Japanese army, but also to have the British army fighting in Kasa south of Meng Gong and cutting off the railway line from Rangoon to Meng Gong, it is entirely possible to surround the Japanese troops of the Meng Gong and Ka Meng generation.

Mara's high-altitude attack operations, using aircraft, artillery, tanks and infantry, basically the expeditionary force has used all the means it can use, but there is still no substantial progress, now I am afraid that the only way is a war of attrition, but the expeditionary force is most lacking now is time.

The idea of raiding Xitong was bold, and after the deduction of the American staff officers, Stilwell decided that success was unlikely, and he did not think that the unit would be able to complete the mission.

So Stilwell asked Sun Liren: Do you think you can succeed? Sun Liren replied happily: General, I think that in order to succeed, soldiers must have an adventurous spirit, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army has suffered heavy losses, and their defense is not as impeccable as it seems.

Sun Liren is an excellent Chinese general, Stilwell knows this very well, but to complete this impossible task, all the troops at present, there is only one commando team that has received relevant training.

"What if Feng Ye is unwilling to carry out this task? Sun, you know what I mean; He could have gotten lost or exposed, and of course, there might have been other reasons......"

Stilwell frowned, in the first few operations, Feng Yi's casualties were not small, and now the commando team has just regained its combat effectiveness, and it is going to carry out this kind of mission of nine deaths, even if it is a normal person, I am afraid that he will refuse.

"General, I believe in the qualities of our Chinese soldiers; Moreover, I never fight uncertain battles, without commandos, I can send the 112th Regiment to carry out this task, and they also have the experience of long-distance detours; You know, I'm not going to let my brethren die in vain. ”

"I believe that Feng Yi's unit is the best unit and can complete any difficult task."

After a brief pause, Sun Liren immediately added a sentence.

In fact, Stilwell and Sun Liren both thought too much, when Feng Ye entered the headquarters of the new 22nd Division, he looked around, just him and Liao Yaoxiang, there was no one else around, he knew that something must have found him.

Liao Yaoxiang did not hide it, told Feng Ye all the circumstances before and after this plan, and asked him to choose by himself, because now the order has not come down, Feng Ye can still express his opinion.

"Raiding Xitong may be the best option now, and for soldiers, obedience to orders is the most basic quality."

Feng Yi did not hesitate and said the most moderate words.

"Feng Yi, you must know that this operation has very high requirements for concealment, and you are advancing lightly, once the attack on Xitong does not go well, you may be surrounded; Take 10,000 steps back, even if you succeed in occupying the supply base of the Japanese army, you will still be surrounded, and devils will come to you from all directions. ”

Liao Yaoxiang pointed to the map, the distance between Xitong and the New First Army was very far, and it had seriously exceeded the attack distance, and the new 22nd Division and the New 38th Division were trapped by the sniper positions of the devils and could not support the commandos at all; As for the British troops in Casa, not a single Chinese soldier thought they would come to their aid.

"When we were training at the Ramgarh base, an American instructor said that the fate of the Airborne Forces is to be surrounded, and we are used to it."

"Moreover, the positional attack, the Chinese soldiers shed too much blood, and the commando team is still part of the US military sequence, even if we are killed, our pension will save China some money."

Feng Yi sneered, as if he was laughing at himself, as a Chinese soldier, he was now earning capital for Stilwell, an American, whose fate was the same as China's current situation, all depending on the face of European and American imperialism.

"General, I'm joking, judging from the previous operations, copying the back path of the devil is a simple and effective way to attack, and we can often achieve greater results; And as far as this plan is concerned, there is no doubt that we are the most suitable troops to carry out this task. ”

Feng Yi stopped Liao Yaoxiang's further explanation, at this time, in this place, with no one around, he already understood that this plan would definitely be implemented, and he would definitely not be the only choice, whether it was Sun Liren or Liao Yaoxiang, there must be other troops preparing; This kind of task, really not Feng Gong is proud, in the entire Burma battlefield, no other troops, other officers are better than the commandos, rather than let more Chinese soldiers to take risks, it is better to go yourself, so that at least a little less people can die, the same Chinese soldiers' blood, can retain a little more, that is also the confidence and vitality of the Chinese.

"Do you really think so? Have you decided? ”

Liao Yaoxiang confirmed again.

"Yes, General, I'm sure."

Feng Yi looked serious and said that he was not joking.

"Alright! Tomorrow you won't have to go on the offensive and get some rest. ”

Liao Yaoxiang nodded, his mood was very complicated, he wanted Feng Ye to complete the task, and he wanted to keep him, no matter what aspect, it would be good for Liao Yaoxiang.

Giving Feng a day off is for him and his assault team to relieve fatigue, reserve enough physical strength for the next mission, and more importantly, tomorrow, the US command will come to the Maragau area with a more detailed plan and announce the order in a straight line.

The officer who came, Feng Yi, did not know him, but his identity was not simple, he was Stilwell's deputy, Brigadier General Thorden.

"Colonel, your achievements are obvious to all, this time I came, not just to read the order to you, this is a reward from the British royal family, in recognition of your merits in saving British soldiers a few months ago, Lieutenant General Slim reported your bravery to the British royal family, and the British feel that you should be given this honor."

Brigadier General Sorden took a brocade box from the staff officer who followed behind, and when he opened it, there was a yellow light, and the shape inside was something Feng Ye had never seen before.
